BROADWAY BRIDGE
WAY SMOOTHED
Approval of Project by War
Department Surmounts
Biggest' Obstacle.
SUITS ONLY HINDRANCE
Case Decided in Favor of City la
Before Supreme Court Condem
nations Xot Setbacks Major
to Begin Construction.
WASHINGTON, March 23. Approval of
the Broadway Dridgre, Portland, was
granted by the Secretary of War today
in accordance with yesterday's favorable
report by the Chief of engineers.
With the approval of the Broadway
bridge by Secretary of War Dickinson,
little remains to be cleared away that
the big span shall proceed to actual con
struction. The injunctiion suit, filed by
Frank Kiernan to test the validity of
the bonds, has been decided in favor of
the oity by the State Circuit Court, and
is in the Oregon Supreme Court on ap
peal. The city has condemnation suits pend
ing for rights of way, which seem certain
to be settled favorably, the only question
being as to the amount to be awarded
property owners for the ground used.
These suits Involve the approaches on
the east and west ends of the structure.
Mayor Simon intends to proceed with
the actual construction of the Broadway
bridge, although it has been declared by
its opponents that they have enough ma
terial to tie up the project in the courts
of the country for at least two years. '
"I am not going to wait for legal tech
nicalities,"' said the Mayor, "but will
proceed with the work of building the
bridge. The approval of the Secretary
of War is enough to warrant this."
The sale of the first $250,000 issue of
the Broadway bridge bonds is scheduled
for Monday afternoon, April 11, when the
Council committee on ways and means
will dispose of that number. It has been
proposed by Mayor Simon and others in
terested that the issue be made popular,
and that small denominations be Issued,
Tf $600 and $1000 each, that ."small-' in
vestors may take advantage of the sale.
The bonds bear interest at 4 per cent
end run for 30 years.
The Broadway bridge is the largest
ridge project ever undertaken In Port
land, and will cost aboit $1,500,000. The
total bond issue is for $2,000,000. The
epan will be high enough to permit the
passage of all river and ocean-going ves
sels, with the exception of sailing ships,
Without opening the draw.
There has been considerable opposition
o the project from certain sources, but
tes there was an overwhelming vote in
jfavor of the bridge. Mayor Simon and the
City Council have been untiring in their
(efforts to get the work under way.
COOK, FRIENDLESS, IS DUE
(Continued From First Page.)
3r. Cook, has a. card bearing the pen
ciled signature of "F. Craig," which Er.
Cook had written and given him as his
card. Here Is the V. Craig signature,
reproduced from the card:
The handwriting, experts declare, bears
ail the characteristics of Dr. Cook's own
signature, particularly the letter "F."
The following is the signature of Dr.
Co.)k. reproduced from his signed photo
graph in his book, "The Top of the Con
tinent," which tells of his Mount Mc
Kinley climb:
"I first met Dr. Cook on January 16
t the Hotel Phenix In Buenos Ayres.
where he was staying with his wife as
Mr. and Mrs. F. Craig,' " said Mr. Win
tter. "I didn't know then he
was Cook, and during the two weeks I
rpent In the hotel I became very friendly
with him. We used to have long talks
together. He seemed just a modest, un
assuming American. He told me that his
wife and he were the only two persons
who spoke English on the Spanish liner
Cadiz, In which they had traveled to
Buenos Ayres from Barcelona, and that
siiade the trip very lonesome for them.
New Yorker Identifies Him.
"When I left Buenos Ayres for Valpa
raiso by train my acquaintance "Craig
old me he was going In the German liner
Osiris as far as Punta Arenas in -the
Straits of Magellan, and after spending
two weeks there would go to Valparaiso.
Bo I did not see any more of the Cratgs
until I arrived at Valparaiso in February.
Then I found them at the llotel Royal,
where William Jennings Bryan was stay
ing with his family.
"On my way across the Andean Rail
xoad I had heard that "F". Craig" had
been Identified by F. Upjohn of New
York, who had met him on the Osiris, as
Dr. Cook, the missing explorer. When I
got to Valparaiso the hotel corridors
were swarming with reporters and pho
tographers who were trying to interview
Craig.' They sent up their cards, but he
refused to see them. Then I met Upjohn,
who told me positively that it was Dr.
Cook. He had recognized Cook in spite
of his having shaved off his moustache.
Traveller la Noncommittal.
"The Craigs did not come Into the din
ing room last night, so after dinner I
went to their apartment. After a few
questions about the trip through the
Straits of Magellan, I said to 'Craig"
that I understood from my friend, Mr.
Upjohn, that he was Dr. Cook, . and as
we had been on friendly terms I would
take any message he liked to give me to
the waiting American newspaper corre
spondents. He calmly replied that he had
nothing to say. neither admitting nor de
nying his .identity. It would soon blow
over, he remarked casually.
"Then I asked him if he would give me
his card as a souvenir of our meeting,
and I handed him mine.
" I have no card with me." said he,
but I will write my name for you on
another card.'
"Then he wrote in pencil the signature
"F. Craig' on the back of another card
and handed it to me. The next morning
I went to a book store and compared it
with the signature of Dr. Cook in an Eng
lish magazine of last September. I
noticed that the 'F was written in Span
ish style, which is not done by one Amer
ican in a thousand. I also recognized both
'Mr. Craig' and his wife by their por
traits in the magazine as Dr. and Mxs.
Cook.
Chilean Papers Enterprising.
"I met them afterward at the Hotel
Oddo in Santiago and talked with Cralg.'
while the reporters hung around the
place night and day. He still refused to
admit his identity. The Chilean news
papers were very smart. They published
snapshots of the couple under' reproduc
tions of photographs taken in Copenha
gen last September.
"I spoke to Mr. Bryan about Dr. Cook
'when he was in the hotel, but he did not
evince much interest in Cook.
"In the last conversation I had with
'Craig,' he told me he was going up to
Mendoza, In the mountains, where it was
not so hot as In Santiago, and did not
expect to return to the United States
until the middle of June."
BROTHER DISCREDITS STORY
Brooklyn Milk Dealer Does Not Ex
pect Arrival Soon.
NEW YORK, March 23. William L
Cook. a Brooklyn milk dealer and
brother of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, said
tonight that if the doctor was to ar
rive at New York he was not aware
of it.
He added he had. heard from the ex
plorer recently from what point he de
clined to say and expected another
letter soon. Therefore he did not place
much faith In the report that his
brother was so near New York.
ORDER AIDS SQUATTERS
SETTLERS IN RESERVES TO BE
LIBERALLY TREATED.
Secretary of Agriculture Makes It
Possible for Homesteaders to
List Lands Before Surveys.
OREGON I AX NEWS BUREAU, Wash,
lngton, March 23. Secretary Wilson has
Just issued an order providing for a more
liberal treatment of bona fide squatters
upon unsurveyed land which has been
included within National forests since the
time of aotual occupancy of the land by
the squatter.
Under the homestead law it is im
possible for any one to secure legal title
to unsurveyed public land, but occupancy
pending aurvey is recognized as1 giving
a prior claim to the land after survey,
under what is known as . "squatters'
rights." A squatter who had. In good
faith, taken possession of a piece of
National forest land before the National
forests were created is not dispossessed
of his claim by the Forest Service, and if
he lives upon it and cultivates it until the
land haa been surveyed, he Is able to
get his homestead Just aa though he had
settled on any part of th unreserved
public domain.
But since the passage of the act of
June 11. 1906, which permits the Secretary
of Agriculture to list for settlement land
which he finds chiefly valuable for agri-.
culture, it has been possible for squat
ters to apply for the listing of their lands
under this act, and thus to obtain title
prior to the Government survey. The
object of the new order of the Secretary
19 to provide for the listing of the full
amount of land which the occupant would
receive If he exercised his option of
awaiting the Government survey, irre
spective of whether or not the entire area
is cultivable, provided the claim is bona
flde and the land is not more valuable for
ita timber than for agriculture.
Secretary WTilson's order is as follows:
"A person who has settled upon and
continuously occupied unsurveyed lands
within a National forest before Its crea
tion and is at the present time occupying
such lands in good faitli and Is in all
respects complying with the homestead
law, has the right to include within the
lines of his homestead 160 acres after
the land is surveyed.
"Therefore, if the land is occupied for
agricultural purposes and is not more
valuable for Its timber than for such pur
poses, and there are no circumstances
which .would in the opinion of the district
forester tend to discredit the bona fides
of the claimant, he should be allowed to
make application for the patenting of
stich lands under the act of June 11, 1906,
and the examination for listing should be
made with a view of listing 160 acres of
land where possible.
"The tracts as listed should conform
so far as practicable to the form of the
public land surveys. The listing of lands
as above should not in any way govern
the determination of the total area or
amount of non-cultivable land listed for
applicants under the act of June 11, 1906,
who were not residing upon the land be
fore the creation of the forest.
"In cases where less than 160 acres of
land has been listed to a person who set
tled upon the land prior to the creation
of the forest, an additional area sufficient
to complete the homestead entry may be
allowed upon proper application."

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 23. The Senate com
merce committee has favorably con
sidered an amendment to the rivers and
harbors bill for the purchase of the exist
ing canal and locks- around the Willam
ette Falls. Oregon City, or a purchase
of the necessary lands and the con
struction of a new canal and locks, in
the discretion of the Secretary of War,

such antecedent surveys and prelimi
nary work as may be necessary in this
connection until the state of Oregon
shall appropriate a like amount.
The purchase of the canal and locks
or the actual construction of new can
als and locks shall not be undertaken
until the Secretary of War is satisfied
that Oregon will deposit the said
amount In the Treasury of the United
States. It is provided also that the

ti. S. SENATORS LEFT TO VOTERS
Election Committee Urges Their
Election by Popular Choice.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. March 23. Representative El
lis today favorably reported from
the committee on elections a reso
lution proposing an amendment to
the Constitution authorizing the elec
tion of United States Senators by direct
vote of the people. Ellis thinks it
would be advisable to submit this
amendment to the states for ratifica
tion in view of the growth of sentiment
in favor of the change.
"Instead of compelling the people to
resort to all kinds of subterfuges to get
around the Constitution," said he, "they
should be permitted to amend the Con
stitution to meet their wishes. Subter
fuges that have been resorted to have
not proven altogether satisfactory, and
should be superseded by a constitu
tional amendment which will do direct
ly what is now sought to he accom
plished by indirection."
CAUCUS NAMES SIX
TOMAKENEWRULES
Only Friendly Rivalry Shown
as Regular Republicans
Elect Slate.
NO INSURGENT IS CHOSEN
Gardner of Massachusetts Receives
Highest "Vote Cast for Any In
surgent Dalzell and Fassett
Both Successful.
WASHINGTON. March 23. With only
the friendliest sort of rivalry, the Re
publican caucus tonight selected the
six members of the rules committee
apportioned to the Republican majority
In the House. The following, all mem
bers of the regular whig of the party,
were chosen:
Walter L. Smith, of Iowa, 168 votes;
John Dalzell, Pennsylvania, 146 votes;
George P. Lawrence, Massachusetts, 126
votes; J. Sloat Fassett, New York, 113
votes: Sylvester C. Smith, California,
136 votes; Henry S. Boutell, Illinois,
108 votes.
Two ballots were taken, the four first
named receiving a majority of the
votes" cast on the first ballot, "and the
two last named being chosen on the
second ballot. ,
Slate Is Elected.
The six members represent a slate
prepared by Representative Tawney of
Minnesota after numerous conferences
with both regulars and insurgents.
The vote In the caucus tonight was
taken by written ballot. Nineteen men
were placed in nomination and a large
number of others received complimentary
votes. Representative Gardner of Massa
chusetts received 33 votes, the highest
number cast for any insurgent. '
Previous to the caucus the "insurgents"
held a meeting, at which Beveral mem
bers opposed both Dalzell and Fassett
and agreed to contest their selection. At
the same time they agreed they would
abide by the result.
The Pennsylvania member was objected
to for his long association on the com
mittee with Speaker Cannon and because
he had presented on the floor many of
the rules regarded as particularly ob
noxious. Secret Ballot Refused.
Fassett was in disfavor because of his
vitriolic arraignment of insurgents. Mr.
Hubbard of Iowa made a speech advo
cating a secret ballot to select the six
members. Assent to this proposal was
refused by Mr. Tawney, who said his
slate did not call for the selection of any
man who was chairman of a standing
committee.
"Down in New England." Interrupted
Mr. McCall of Massachusetts, "it is not
regarded as democratic to bring in a
slate."
His attitude was one of rebuke for
those who were attempting to control the
caucus, and he was cheered loudly by
many mem bers.
It was then suggested by Mr. Payne,
of New York, the Republican floor
leader, that nominations be made and
an Informal ballot taken, each mem
ber voting for six men. This plan was
applauded by all "insurgents" and not
a few regulars, and was adopted by a
viva voce vote. Mr. Tawney withdrew
his slate and nominations were ordered.
Speeches Cut Short,
Speeches nominating candidates were
limited to 30 seconds each. Twenty
three members were nominated, but
four of these Messrs. Needham, of Cal
ifornia; Olmsted, of Pennsylvania; Par
sons, of New York, and Norris,' of Ne
braska declined to permit their names
to be considered. There remained the
following names to be voted for:
Long-worth of Ohio, Gaines of West
Virginia, Gardner of Massachusetts,
Fassett of New York, Malby of New
York, Smith of Iowa, Boutelle of Illi
nois, Dalzell of Pennsylvania. Smith of
Calfornia, Kahn of California, Law
rence of Massachusetts, Louden of Illi
nois, Miller of Kansas, Stevens of Min
nesota, Cooper of Wisconsin, Denby of
Michigan, Murdock of Kansas. Davison
of Wisconsin, and Martin of South Da
kota. Dalzell to Be Chairman.
The result of the first ballot was as
follows: Smith of Iowa 168. Dalzell 146,
Lawrence 126, Fassett 113, Smith of Cali
fornia 92, Boutell So, Kahn 56, Longworth
33. Gardner 33, Gaines 29, Stevens of
Minnesota 16, McCall 16, Malby 16. Louden
14, Hamilton 12, Parsons 12, Denby 12,
Martin 9 and a number, of scattering
votes. Murdock received 6, Davidson 5,
Cooper of Wisconsin 4, Madison 4 and
Fish 3. This was the extent of the in
surgent strength.
On the second ballot Smith and Boutell
won easily from a long list of candidates
who received a vote or two apiece.
The members will rank on the com
mittee according to their seniority of
service, which will give the chairmanship
to Mr. Dalzell.
The Democrats will caucus tomorrow
night to name the four members allotted
to the minority and the whole lift will be
A LITTLE THING
Changes the Home Feeling.
Coffee- -blots out the sunshine from
many a home by making the mother, or
some other member of the household,
dyspeptic, nervous and Irritable. There
are thousands of cases where the proof
is absolutely undeniable. Here is one.
A Wis. mother writes:
"1 was taught to drink coffee at an
early age, and also at an early age be
came a victim to headaches, and as I
grew to womanhood these headaches
became a part of me, as I was scarcely
ever free from them.
"About five years ago a friend urged
me to try Postum. I made the trial and
the result was so satisfactory that we
have used it ever since.
"My husband and little daughter were
subject to bilious attacks, but they have
both been entirely free from them since
we began using Postum Instead of cof
fee. I no longer have headaches and
my health is perfect."
If some of these nervous, tired. Irrita
ble women would only leave off coffee '
absolutely and try Postum they would I
find a wonderful change In their life. I
It would then be filled with sunshine '
and happiness rather than weariness 1
and discontent. And think what an ef
fect it would have on the family, for
the mood of the mother is largely re
sponsible for the temper of the chil
dren. Read "The Road to Wellville," in

Interest
brought before the House Friday for
formal election.
Norris Is Satisfied.
The Insurgents appeared satisfied, al
though none of the most radical express
ed themselves. Representative Norris of
Nebraska said:
"It was a fair, square deal. I think
everybody is well satisfied. Of course,
the men selected are not the men I would
have named if I had the choosing."
Representative Tawney said the com
mittee was selected largely for geograph
ical reasons, and the best thing accom
plished was that no committee chairmen
were named. Only the most consistent
of the "regulars" were selected. Dalzell
and Smith of Iowa are members of the
retiring rules committee. Lawrence of
Massachusetts, long has been a friend of
Speaker Cannon.
Representative Fassett is one of the
orators of the "regulars." . In the course
of the recent prolonged debate on the
Norris resolution he vigorously opposed
the Insurgents.
Boutell Is Cannon Nominator.
Representative Boutell of Illinois placed
Mr. Cannon in nomination for President
at the Chicago convention in 1908. He is
one of the most consistent supporters of
the majority. Representative Smith of
California always has been one of the
"most regular" Republicans In the House.
Majority Leader Payne, 'before the
nominations were made, appealed to all
of the 193 members to act as Republi
cans without regard to schism. He ap
pealed for harmony, a united Repub
licanism, and characterized any divi
sion within the party as unfair and
needless. So far as he was concerned,
he said, he was In favor of putting one
"insurgent" on the rules committee. He
declared his opposition to any slate
and insisted everybody regular and
Insurgent alike have a fair chance.
Speaker Votes for Slate.
In the early hours of the caucus
Speaker Cannon spent the time in his
room reading newspapers. He felt that
his presence in the caucus might be
misinterpreted. Shortly after 9 o'clock,
however, he made up his mind to en
ter. "Guess I had better go in and cast
my ballot," he called to Mr. Boutell
of Illinois, who had strolled In. They
went into the House chamber together
and remained there for the rest of the
session. The Speaker voted for the
Tawney slate.
OREGOS MKMBERS GET VOTES
Both Vote for Smith of California.
Polndexter in Caucus.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 23. On the first ballot
in the Republican caucus tonight, both
Representatives Ellis and Hawley re
ceived several votes for membership
on the committee on rules, but lacked
the support given to a member of the
California delegation, who ultimately
was elected.
Neither Oregon member was an ac
tive candidate for this place, and both
supported Smith of California, who had
the largest original vote given to any
Pacific Coast man.
Representative Poindexter, insurgent,
attended the caucus, having been sum
moned with all the ether Insurgents
after, the party leaders had decided
upon a harmonious plan in .the hope
of bringing the recalcitrants back Into
camp for the rest of the session. Poin
dexter took no part in the proceedings,
other than to cast his ballots.
No member of the Washington dele
gation was voted for In. the caucus.

MERGER UNDERWAY
Anaconda to Increase Stock
to Acquire Holdings.,
COURT DECISION AWAITED
'Amalgamated Copper, Which Is Only
Holding Company, Will Cease to
Exist if Plans for Greater
i
Combine Are Carried.
ANACONDA, March 23. The stockhold
ers of the Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany at a special meeting here today
voted to increase the capital stock from
1,200,000 shares of the par value of $25
each to 6,000,000 shares of the same par
value. The additional stock is to be
used, according to plans. In acquiring the
stock of a. large number of other copper
mining corporations now included in the
operations of the Amalgamated Copper
Company.
The Amalgamated is only a holding
company, and would go out of existence
if the actual ownership of the properties
should be transferred, through the ex
change of stock, to the Anaconda Com
pany. It is regarded as certain that the
move made today is only preliminary to
a further aotual merger of copper prop
erties, which it is telieved will include
the holdings of the Ouggenheims and
others. It then will be the greatest cop
per merger the world has ever known.
Court Action Awaited.
The greater merger, however, is held
up pending the decision of the Supreme
Court In the American Tobacco and
Standard Oil cases. It is the desire of
the attorneys who are preparing the
plans of the merger to have an oppor
tunity to read the full texts of the decis
ions in both cases and endeavor so far as
possible to learn how the court feels to
ward mergers in general.
The board of directors of the Anaconda
at the meeting today was authorized to
offer the following named companies the
following respective amounts of the cap
ital stock of the Anaconda Copper Min
ing company In exchange for all the
properties and assets of every kind
owned by the corporations named:

Do things always go the way that you would like to have themf Is your employer the man that you
want to work for the rest of your life? While poring over accounts at your desk, did you ever stop
and think of the beauty, the freedom of a farmer's lifef His work is a pleasure, for life holds more for
him than the continual grind does for you. He is not dependent upon the thoughts of someone else as
to whether he should get a few dollars more in a year. His brains and energy go to enrich himself, not
an employer.
ECHO
Is not only the most healthful spot in the world, but is the most successful place for the growing of all
fruits incident to a semi-tropical climate. I
A ten-acre tract set out to apples and peaches will pay you from $10,000 to $20,000 a year net profit
after reaching the bearing period. During the sixth year you will have paid for your land out of the
profits of your crop and will have laid aside a handsome sum over and above all. And during the time
that you are waiting you can secure a comfortable living by growing strawberries, etc., between the trees.
If you do not wish to live on the project now the
COMPANY will PREPARE YOUR LAND FOR YOU
at the actual cost, keeping it in alfalfa for five years or putting it into fruit for you, always doing same at
actual cost, charging nothing for supervision. Here you get the benefit of our years of experience. You
get the profit when the trees are bearing, and the peaches will begin to bear after being two years in
the ground. . .
The price of the land is $200 an acre for the next thirty days, when the Company reserves the rigbt
to increase the price. The land is being sold on exceedingly easy terms and an investment of less than
$600 will start you well on the way to an easy income.
Think this proposition over carefully, look well into its advantages over all others, and then call and
let us tell yon about our plan. It will pay you.
